I have two packages which are related, but not the same problem. A

install one package any previous installation of the related

related package and considers the install to be an upgrade and
removes any previously installed files. The result is that I can
only have one or the other package installed at any point in time.
Looking in the installer Log shows:

Jan 18 02:10:14 Wolf Installer[944]: package.pkg :
com.addressbookserver.AddressBookClient : 0.12

Jan 18 02:21:41 Wolf Installer[1089]: package.pkg :
com.addressbookserver.AddressBookServer : 0.12

The documentation mentions that the package identifier should be
unique however it still seems to be able to construct a match for it.
Any suggestion on what I need to configure for both packages to be
installed at the same time.
Both your packages are named "package.pkg". When you install one, it
deletes the other :-)
You need both unique package identifier and package name, or the
package will remove the other one when installing.
